Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.

Thanks for posting this. I really liked the pictures. The Victorian greenhouses are awesome. I couldn't imagine having one of those. But I think my favorite was the greenhouse with the fireplace.

Very cool! Abandoned greenhouses" AND forgotten plants inside, or so it would seem!

I found the photos rather sad.

I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.

WOW, I can't imagine the upkeep on some of those places if they were still in operation

I can actually understand why most of those lovelies have fallen into disrepair. One can only imagine the cost and upkeep.

I loved this tour thank you. It shows that in spite of mans' interference, the plants will still adapt.
